The DSS introduces new sponsors, special activities to celebrate its 20th anniversary, and an official app designed to encourage professional networking.

Organised by invidis consulting in partnership with Integrated Systems Events, The DSS will bring together professionals from the global digital signage and DooH industry at the Hilton Munich Airport for two days of strategic discussion, executive networking, and industry insight.

This year’s edition will feature an impressive line-up of 27 sponsors representing the entire digital signage ecosystem, alongside a programme designed to address the technologies, business models, and operational priorities shaping the future of the industry.

Innovation at the core

Leading participating brands include Dynascan as Diamond Sponsor, alongside iiyama, Samsung, Sharp, and Sony as Gold Sponsors. Together with 22 additional sponsors, this line-up reflects the growing convergence of hardware, software, analytics, and retail media technologies within the digital signage ecosystem.

Technology partner M-Cube will also support the on-site experience by implementing digital signage throughout the venue, helping visitors navigate the event, follow the schedule, and access event information, demonstrating the practical role digital signage plays at events of this kind.

Strategy shapes the programme

Across the two-day programme on 20 and 21 May, attendees will explore nine strategic themes shaping the future of digital signage, including artificial intelligence, sustainability, cybersecurity, and retail media. The content programme is designed to provide executives and decision-makers with practical frameworks and market insight, moving beyond traditional product-focused presentations.

New for 2026, the exclusive workshop programme will feature specialised discussions on topics such as Product Engineers: The New Superman? Rethinking Roles and Org Design for the AI Era, Digital Signage Compliance 2026 – Identifying Risks and Setting Priorities, and From Central Briefing to Store Ready Concept – Translating Retail into NextGen Signage. Attendance will be limited to encourage deeper conversations and professional peer exchange.

Designed for meaningful connections

Networking continues to be one of the core pillars of the DSS experience, with a format designed to facilitate high-value interactions between executives, technology providers, and end users across the global digital signage and DooH sector.

This approach is complemented by the event’s official app, which will allow attendees to browse and save sessions and speakers, create personalised agendas, and connect with other participants before the event. Matchmaking tools will suggest relevant contacts based on shared interests and support one-to-one meeting planning throughout the summit.

The programme will also include specially curated networking events, including the DSS 2026 Kick-Off Event at Sportalm on Tuesday at 19:00, the traditional DSS Beer Garden Networking Event at Airbräu on Wednesday from 18:00, and the Women’s Breakfast, sponsored by Lang AG, taking place on Thursday at 08:00 and bringing together leaders challenging the status quo in the AV industry.

Launch of the invidis Yearbook 2026 and Strategy Awards

The summit will also host the official launch of the invidis Yearbook 2026, published annually by invidis consulting and recognised as one of the industry’s most important strategic publications.

The invidis Yearbook combines independent analysis with data-driven rankings to reflect how digital signage is being redefined by connected, data-driven communication ecosystems and the rapid impact of artificial intelligence, comments Florian Rotberg, Founder and Owner of invidis consulting GmbH.

The DSS will also serve as the stage for the invidis Strategy Awards, recognising organisations and initiatives shaping the direction of digital signage through clear strategic thinking and effective execution.

We are delighted to welcome attendees to The DSS on its 20th anniversary. With a programme packed with sponsors, speakers, and activities, visitors can look forward to a dynamic agenda, adds Mike Blackman, Managing Director of Integrated Systems Events.

The DSS app is available for download on Google Play and the App Store.
